A musical you haven't seen
I just finished watching Colma: The Musical. For those of you can already start to grasp what that could entail, I'll let you sit there for a moment and think about that.
Now add this to your thoughts- it was pretty gosh darn good. For those of you who don't know, Colma is a small town just south of San Francisco and it is the last place you want to be when the zombie apocalypse comes. There are roughly 1.5 million people in Colma and only 1,200 are breathing. Yes, it is town full of cemeteries, but the musical isn't about that particular weirdness (though there is a musical number set in a cemetery). It is instead a fine coming of age story revolving around three recent high school graduates. It has some strong numbers and some very funny lines. I think my personal favorite is "When I was your age, I was 18! And I didn't know sh*t!"
Colma Stays, Could We Get Any Older, Goodbye Stupid, and Crash the Party are all great songs.
Here is the homepage for the film: http://www.colmafilm.com/
And the imdb entry: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0784977/
And the best part (for locals only)? There is talk of another film by these folks titled Serramonte: The Musical.
